Hello, I have fitted a reconditioned fuser into my old HP4050n printer - it seems to have solved the problem of crinkly paper / messy print - now heve nice clean prints!

So I can now keep this ageing printer going for some while longer. BUT I now have the old fuser unit, which could be reconditioned (PTFE Sleeve + grease + know how). I have looked on the HP site and they only recycle toners. Seems a shame for the sake of a PTFE sleeve / grease?

Anybody know anyone who recycles individual fuser units (found one place but minimum return = 10 items)? Thanks, Mel

Label it and put it with your recycling collection ? Our council is fairly good at taking unusual recyclable items - certainly fine with empty toner cartridges.

Our rules are - electrical items recycling - "must be small item with a mains lead" - e.g. kettle - It would be left or "binned".
 
It's an excellent piece of engineering - but I now have the defunct one I have taken out - all it needs to refurbish is a ptfe sleeve + grease (cost for web for set ~£15) + know-how! I don't have the know how so I paid £49 (incl delivery) for somebody else to supply me with a refurbished one (stripped down, etc) .
